Experience City Tours in Oaxaca with Withlocals

"My friend and I booked a tour with Cris and could not recommend it enough! We sent her our interests and she created a custom route in Oaxaca Centro for us. She was very easy and responsive over messages and worked with us to meet us in a convenient location. She was very flexible in letting us stop at cafes, shops, etc and showed us spots we would have never found ourselves. We love art, pottery, and textiles and the knowledge she had on Oaxacan art was incredible. You can tell the love and admiration she has for this city, its people, culture and history. She asked about the rest of our travel plans and provided us with many recommendations in Oaxaca based on our interests. If you are looking for a more intimate and personable way to experience Oaxaca, you could not go wrong booking with Cris. If we are ever back in Oaxaca, I will be booking with Cris again! "

"Raquel is deeply passionate about her city, and her love for its art and local craftsmanship shines through in everything she shares. She is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough in her teaching, yet patient and adaptable — especially with our two kids along for the experience. She is wonderful with children; our girls, ages 6 and 9, absolutely adored her. Raquel guided both of our tours — the food tour and our time exploring Jalatlaco — and it was clear she is truly connected within the local community. The relationships she has built add such authenticity to the experience. I can’t say enough about her. She is unique, intelligent, kind, and effortlessly cool. I would recommend her to anyone. And her English is impeccable."

"Tanivet was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed our day with her! "

"You've likely taken tours with guides where it seems like they are reading from a script....my experience with Tanivet WAS NOT THAT! I genuinely felt like I was getting the story of a people, of a community, of a city from someone who knows all of the aforementioned intimately and sincerely wanted to share her knowledge and passion with me. My time with Tanivet was beyond any expectations I could have had. The moment I set foot in Oaxaca I felt different. There is something about this city that really speaks to me and Tanivet helped deepen my experience and understanding of what I've been feeling while being in this magnificent, truly one of a kind city. Furthermore, Tanivet conducted the entire tour in Spanish (per my request) and guess what, she's been a teacher of Spanish for over 30 years! And while her English is fantastic, getting the tour in Spanish from a seasoned interpreter of language and culture...I mean it truly doesn't get any better than that. In addition, she's just a lovely human being to spend an afternoon with. "

"Can’t miss with Sofia. "

"Tanivet provided our family with an exceptional art tour of the Jalatlaco neighborhood. Although we had visited the neighborhood before, she introduced us to art that we had never encountered. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the history of Oaxaca and appreciating the beautiful art. "

"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the hidden gems of Oaxaca with Tanivet. She was one of the most knowledgeable tour guides we’ve ever had! The tour was the right length with a flexible itinerary according to our interests. Tanivet is a true local, and provided us with an excellent overview of Oaxaca’s rich cultural heritage, along with some local insights. Highly recommended! "

"Tanivet was delightful, knowledgable and really listened to what we wanted. I would highly recommend her for any of your tours!!!"

"Sofia was a great guide of her home town of Oaxaca. We were fortunate to visit the city during Dia De Las Muertas and the decoration of the city were amazing. Sofia was very knowledgeable and I feel like we got a good feel for the city with her. I would highly recommend Sofia to guide you through Oaxaca."

"Tanviet was great, we were running late and she came to meet us at a different location instead. She had a ton of great information, and provided recommendations throughout. "
